Yes, Believe they will be mostly using the land facing the main Arriva depot
Vantage, the 2 Contacted Services and Schools will now operate from Bolton following talks with the Union and Drivers
I doubt you could fit 40 buses in the yard facing the depot I would say maybe 15 tops

It doesn't mean they are going to have 40 veichles as its just the maximum number of veichles they can have in service on that licence to cover themselves.
As i beleive arriva st helens as a licence for around 200 veichles but there are only about 120 based there but just covers for any possibilities.
This months updates:
30945 YJ51 RPZ Gained taxed in july after being SORN in Feb, at Oldham?

Past Rusholme Garage today and it isn't boarded up any more (or at least not at the moment).

Yes and no they will for so long have cross tickets with First / DNW / GNW but there a point a £5 ticket going 3 ways will turn into a let's scrap that and get them to buy Daysavers on a get me there card
